Discuss your teamBefore you decide
Put the stories in context.
How should I use these stories?
Look for relevant technical responsibilities and engagement models. Each story describes a particular engagement; its timing and outcome do not guarantee the same result for a new role. Discuss your requirements and candidate availability with Val.
How should I compare hiring costs?
Compare the same role, seniority, hours and period. Odesa staff augmentation starts at $45/hr; direct recruitment is $7,999 per successful hire, with engineer compensation separate. US salary, benefits and agency-fee assumptions vary. Review current pricing before making a comparison.
Can I request a reference?
Ask Val about a relevant client introduction. References depend on client permission and availability. You can also read independent Clutch reviews.
What if a match does not work out?
Staff augmentation includes a two-week trial under agreed terms; recruitment has a separate 90-day replacement guarantee. The applicable agreement defines billing, eligibility and the replacement process. Read the trial and replacement FAQs.
